The Alleged Texas Political outrages
to be Thoroughly Investigated.
Many Rumors Regarding Probable
Changes In the Cabinet.
No Further Action Yet on the Fishery
Question.


WASHINGTON, Feb 3.
Mr.. ID. S. Corser, a messenger Of the SEN
ate, acting as Deputy Sargent-at-Arms Of
the Senate left here to-day for Texas to sum
mon witnesses in the case Of the alleged
outrages in Washington county which are to
be investigated by the Senate committee on
privileges and elections. Stephen III. Hack
worth, the leading petitioner, and Carl Shuttle,
another Of the men upon whom the outrages
were inflicted, have been here for some
time. in preparation Of their cases. They
are the men whom Senator Coke in his
speech in opposition to the investigation
characterized as the worst type Of scalawags.
If the characterization is just one their APP
pearance belle them. Both are quiet unas-
suming men, who tell their stories in aplain,
straightforward manner which carries c0nyic
tion Of their truth. However, il is well known
that in the part OF the country from which
they come any persons, no matter what their
standing may be, who do not happen to be-
long to the dominant political party are
deemed as scalawags in in the eyes Of that
party Of which Senator Coke is representa-
tive. Upwards Of fifty witnesses are to be
summoned and the investigation win be
made a thorough one. Senator Evarts Of
New York is chairman Of the subcommittee
which is to make the investigation and
Senators Teller. Spooner, Pugh and Eustis
make up the committee. They have power
to sit during the recess and viii undoubtedly
consume several weeks after the adjourn
ment in the investigation.
Cabinet Meeting.
The air is full Of r1mors regarding the
probable change in the Cabinet, and especial
lyregarding the retirement of Secretary Man
ming and Minister Pendleton's recall has been
regarded by many indicating that he was to
be appointed. A prominent treasury official
tonight said to the PRESS correspondent
that there was not the slightest probability
of this. Assistant Secretary Fairchild win
be Manning successor. He said; 1t is the
general understanding that Manning will
retire within month after the adjournment
Of Congress.

Lon1on Life
At more than one FIRST night lately
powdered coiffures have made their ap-
pearance in the stalls of the west-end
theatres, and, as everything must have
beginning, ii is Just possible that this
phenomenon may portend general re-
turn to the fashion OF using hair powder
so prevalent in the last century. Women
nearing forty are, it must be confessed,
under q strong temptation to powder
their hair as mean of Disgusting the
rsvages of time, and even young faces are
sometimes seen to advantage under a
powdered couture. Considering the
csprioes OF fashion there would, therefore,
be nothing astonishing in the revival of
the fantastic headgear of Madame de Pom
padour and her contemporaries. 1t il tor
the men to set their faces against any
fashionable folly Of this kind, for, al
theories TO the contrary notwithstanding
it is certain that women, whatever they
may say, are largely influenced bya desir,
to please the opposite sex. Hair powder
to my mind, would be q monstrosity IL
these days. when simplicity Of attire is
or Oughtto be, the standard of good taste
For not only is the use of hair powder ii
itself sham, and, therefore, Objectionable
but it entails the use of hair oil or som
other abomination of the kind, to proven
the powder flying about like dust. In tn
last century it was customary for ladie
to wear, not powder pure and simple, bu
species of oleaginous -four or pastG
which reduced the hair to truly filth
condition. One may well be alarmed 6
